About this book

Behçet’s Syndrome has seen great strides over the last two decades in the availability of new treatments and the understanding of underlying pathogenesis. Only 30 years ago the majority of particularly young men with Behçet’s lost total eye sight, now only a minority do. This book covers the most recent developments in the basic and clinical aspects of Behçet’s Syndrome. International authorities have collaborated to offer their diverse expert knowledge on the multiple affected organs and systems, including the skin, the eye, the brain, the lungs and not the least the gastrointestinal and the locomotor systems. A special chapter is devoted to juvenile disease. The definitive resource on Behçet’s Syndrome, this book is well suited for rheumatologists, dermatologists, ophthalmologists, neurologists, and health professionals caring for Behçet’s patients.

Reviews

From the reviews:

“In this comprehensive overview of Behcet’s syndrome, world experts review the variety of manifestations of the disease, present the current evidence for treatment, and finally discuss the mechanisms and pathogenesis behind the disease. … The book is written for general practitioners, detailed enough to be useful for anyone who takes care of patients with Behcet’s syndrome but easily understood by anyone with a medical degree. … This is the most complete description and review of Behcet’s syndrome I have seen.” (Lesley M. Davila, Doody’s Review Service, December, 2010)
